Registration opened for UvA Thesis Prize 2021

The best and most original master thesis written at the UvA is rewarded each year with the UvA Thesis Prize. This prize, an extra acknowledgement to the university diploma will be presented on the University Day (date to be announced).

Master students that have graduated after 1 February 2020 or will graduate before 1 February 2021 and have received a mark of 8.5 or higher for their thesis, can participate in the UvA Thesis Prize 2021. The closing date for submissions is Wednesday 3 February at noon. The jury judges the submissions by quality and originality.

‘Judging the submissions each year is a lot of work but certainly no punishment’, says chairman of the 2020 jury Fred Weerman. ‘It is a pleasure to take note of interesting, original, well researched and well worded findings of students about the many different topics. The width of the fields of science of the UvA can also be seen in the theses. That is why it sometimes seems that we are comparing apples to pears, but the jury is very capable and usually in unison.’
 

The UvA Thesis Prize 2020 is for Sindy Löwe (Faculty of Science) for her thesis Greedy InfoMax for Self-Supervised Representation Learning.
